She says it may be economically unviable to stay organic unless the US standards can be changed to allow 10-80 baits.

"We estimate that our calving has been affected by 50 per cent this year through dog predation or dog injury or dog bite," she said.

"At the moment, while the dogs are so high, the economics of not being able to bait or control dogs versus the economic gain from the organic certification - there's a really fine line.

"[1080 is] the most effective, it's the most target-specific and it has the least impact on the environment. If we make the right presentation to America I'm sure that we can present quite a strong case."

Organic market an advantage for pastoralists

David Bell, from Dulkaninna Station on the Birdsville track in South Australia, says the wild dog problem is definitely getting worse.

"We've had them sleeping at our back door," he said.

"We don't let our three-year-old son just run outside. He's got to ask before he goes outside to jump on his trampoline because we've had a dog jump up on the trampoline with him."

But there are conversations happening and a result could help a wider group of farmers.

Greg Mifsud, from the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre, says that's because when organically certified pastoralists aren't baiting, it's impacting their neighbours who are, and making control efforts patchy.

"We're working with the organic industry and working at a federal level through DAFF to work out what our options are," he said.

"And how we can approach either the US Government or the US NOP (National Organic Program) standards to try and look at allowing 10-80 to be permitted for use."

But Mr Mifsud concedes it's not a process that will happen overnight.

"I doubt that very much.

"At this point in time, the issue hasn't been raised and we need to continue pushing that along to get it onto the agenda."
